A new combination of inputs for the estimation of left ventricular filling pressure has shown to outperform those from ...

We can track serial measurements of EF (usually by echocardiogram) to see if your treatment is helping. How can you have normal EF and heart failure?

She suggests that an echocardiogram be performed every 5 years when there is mild regurgitation and normal end-systolic dimension (ESD) and normal ejection fraction (EF) of the left ventricle ...

Q: I was recently diagnosed with mild heart failure. But my echocardiogram showed a normal ejection fraction. Why would I still have heart failure? A: Heart failure conjures up the image of your ...

Ejection fraction is a way to measure how efficiently the heart pumps the blood. Learn more about the results of an ejection fraction and how to improve them.

Patients with acute pulmonary edema often have marked hypertension but, after reduction of the blood pressure, have a normal left ventricular ejection fraction (≥0.50). However, the pulmonary ...

Having a strong heart is the key to living longer and healthier, but how do you know if you have one? A cardiac surgeon has ...

Ejection fraction is a measurement doctors can use to help diagnose heart failure. A normal range is between 52% and 72% for males and between 54% and 74% for females.

A new study found that septic shock patients who have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction were less likely to receive guideline-recommended intravenous fluids compared with patients with ...

The White House released the results of President Trump’s annual physical examination on Sunday.

Echocardiogram. This is an ultrasound test to check on heart muscle function, see how well the heart is pumping, and detect problems with the heart valves that may cause heart failure.
